Ran into a deal on another Star. She ain't pretty, but everything appears to be in working order. Couldn't pass it up for $50....and it has a .358 die and punch installed.

Sweet find!
I was given one in worse shape than that, and it took a lot of elbow grease to get it cleaned up and operating, but it's now working right alongside the rest of my Star lubesizers. Mine also had a .358" die and top punch in it, plus some very, very old lube.
For $50.00 you basically bought a top punch and sizing die, with a Star machine thrown in for free. Great deal!

Congrats nice find. You pass up a star for $50 in ANY shape I think you loose the man card, casting card, shooting card, and we send you and letter informing you you can no longer own a gun.

Dang, I want one of those really bad; just one! Why can't I fall into something like that deal?
I feel so bad for you after that I'm prepared to offer you $55 to make it up to you.
Sometimes it's all about being in the right place at the right time. I suppose it would be in bad taste to mention the $75 Dillon 550 I picked up a couple of years ago....even came with a set of Dillon 45ACP dies, a Dillon case cleaner and a Dillon media separator.

Awesome!!! I never find stuff like that.
You know, now you owe the Karma pot. I suggest a extra bit in the offering plate or a round at the watering hole. Your choice.
Nice find. My only claim to "steppin in it" fame is the $300 Colt Python.
Geez - You'd think that for 50 bux, you would at least have gotten a heater with it ?????
Nice job. You'll have that working real well in no time. Probably work as is !! Mike

Here is a photo of the same Star from post #1, but after a couple of weeks of refurbishing it. It's almost ready to get back to doing what it was made for....sizing and lubing boolits.

I want one for $50....
whats ya take fir it?
Do they change them with improvements or have all pieces been the same for years?
I found 1000 bucks on a sidewalk.
Jeez, I thought I got a good deal at $65. Maybe I should have dickered a little. Now I've really got my eyes open. There has to be some more out there at my kind of price. Great find!!!
What a deal.. I'm jealous
mktacop, Being a former cop that has hundreds of investigations on file, I would just take a guess and say that between your purchase of the Dillon 550 and all of the extras for only $75 and now this $50 Star sizer you are in the right place. Are you by chance the admittance officer at the state mental hospital?
